Mould & Arrowsmith

Beyond nerdy, yet playful and ingeniously funny, Steve Mould and Gemma Arrowsmith’s mock-highbrow revue is like a Centre Georges Pompidou of comedy: all exposed plumbing, postmodern form-as-content and paradox fetishism. Hauling a wide load of self-referential, knowingly smartass themes, most of the sketches are far more entertaining than they have any right to be.

Pleasance Dome, 556 6550, until 30 Aug, 5.30pm, £7.50–£8.50 (£6–£7).

mould and arrowsmith's comedy was just about the best thing we saw at the Edinburgh fringe this year. It was fresh, well crafted and a pleasure to watch. Particularly good was the fact that whilst brilliantly and often surreal - ly funny, it was cleverly pitched to be a treat for our 13 year old son as well. It was really suitable for older kids unlike a lot of the events touted as being ideal for older children which we found to be bland and over hyped. well done mould, arrowsmith and (obviously) jethro.
